In here, Stephen Miller&#8217;s given us a wealth of easily-accessible, easy-to-understand knowledge about Scripture from, starting in Genesis 1:1 and going all the way through Revelation.<\/p>\n<p>In the introduction, Miller reveals that he wrote this book with his non-Christian friends in mind, to help everyone better understand the biblical perspective. That perspective pays off in many ways, making <em>The Complete Guide to the Bible<\/em> one that all of your family members can approach with confidence, from preteens to parents. No, this is not a children&#8217;s book, and some concepts discussed are,\u00a0 by their nature, intellectually challenging. But that adds to the appeal for sharing this book with your kids. If both parent and child alike are wrestling with accurate interpretations of God&#8217;s word, both parent and child alike grow deeper in faith and in relationship with each other.<\/p>\n<p>Miller ably recognizes the mountain of different perspectives on the Bible, and takes his time to acknowledge them, allowing the reader to decide for himself or herself what makes the most sense. Because of that, <em>The Complete Guide to the Bible<\/em> is a great resource for any in your family who want to dig deeper into Scripture&#8217;s meaning and the Christian faith.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Complete Guide to the Bible<\/em> is an outstanding resource that delivers exactly what it promises: an easy-to-read Bible reference book for you and your whole family.

He's a former youth pastor who shepherded kids on staff at Chuck Swindoll's church in Southern California\u2014and he's a bestselling and award-winning author with more than a million copies of his books sold worldwide. Plus, he holds a degree in Christian Education with an emphasis in Bible Theology. So, you know, he\u2019s got that going for him. Mike is also a pop culture dork who watches too much TV, reads too many comic books, utters too many bad words, laughs at all the wrong jokes, and often gets in trouble because he says whatever he happens to be thinking at the moment\u2014like quoting an R-rated movie in the middle of a sermon. Yeah, he\u2019s a mess (just like you!), but he kind of likes it that way. Most of all, Mike Nappa loves Jesus, and he figures that covers over a multitude of sins.
